More fun with plastic explosives

Well, it was only a matter of time now wasn't it?

I mean, I can't say I'm shocked. This time London was the recepient of Al-Qaeda's peculiar brand of "justice". And one again, let me say, you picked the wrong victims. These are the people that survived the Nazis - your piffling efforts aren't going to amount to anything.
Next time, you might want to try those cheese eating surrender monkeys. or snail eating prophets of appeasement. Your mileage may vary.

What was the point of this? It's not like Al-Qaeda bombing Londoners is going to change the situation with regards to Iraq or Pakistan. Terrorism is the last violent refuge of the powerless : a paroxysm of a dying way of life - overrun by Coca-Cola and MTV and consipicuous consumption. I know very well what Al-Qaeda is against : The US, Western culture, imperialism, the whole works. But what indeed is it for?

*crickets chirping*

a change back to the middle ages. Women? second class citizens. Beards? a must. Intellectuals? to be feared and abhorred. We tried their way already - it was called the Khmer Rouge. and how did that work out for ya.

What we need to see is the moderate Muslim to take back their religion, much in the same way the moderate Christian must take back his from the clutches of the Fallwells and Reeds of the world. In deeds and words. And if they are (which I have seen no evidence), then the media must do a better job of covering it rather than looking for the divisiveness within all of us.

In an age of niche driven politics and tastes, extremists will always have an edge because by there very nature they are fantical about what they believe in where as the middle gets all chopped up into tiny little sections that make it lose their voice. The Muslim world must find it's collective voice and shout down these idiots once and for all. The sooner the better.
